One in three holidaymakers have been caught off guard with hidden and unexpected baggage fees when they have been travelling
Airlines are hitting travellers with exorbitant excess baggage fees, sometimes as high as £65 for just 1kg over the allowed limit, according to recent revelations. A fresh survey discovered that one in three holidaymakers - a staggering 32 percent - have been blindsided by hidden and unexpected baggage charges.
However, despite this, one in five admitted they had to buy an additional piece of luggage to redistribute weight at the airport. On average, people spent £55 for their overweight or oversized baggage, with 16 percent paying over £100. In contrast, some airlines are very generous with the amount that you are allowed to take into the cabin.
"With so much confusion around airline policies, it’s no surprise that many feel caught off guard by unexpected costs and unclear rules when checking in luggage. Finding the right information can be surprisingly difficult – every airline has different policies, and knowing which sources to trust can feel overwhelming. It’s important to always check your ticket and if you’re still unsure, contact the airline to ensure you know exactly what’s included.
